Purchased this old vegetable bin at the Walnut Creek Antique Mall for $8.00 early this Spring and knew it had some potential.
My son Kyle painted it and then my husband distressed it and added a protective sealant. I think it looks pretty darn good for an $8.00 purchase. I meant to take a completely intact "before" picture but one morning I found my husband removing the bins and taking off the brassy door knobs. I quickly grabbed my camera and got an "almost before" shot!!!

I think it turned out pretty nice and it looks better than the pictures show. It is a great olde solid piece!!!
It could be used for so much more then just veggies.............hmmmmmmmm do I keep it or sell it????
So many dilemmas!!!

Hi Paula, first visit here and I enjoyed looking around. Great makeover on the bin. I'd have to keep it if it were me. 8-) Come visit my blog, I am trying to reach 100 followers and will be doing a giveaway soon....I hope, life has just been crazy but I am definitely working on it.
Have a great day!!
Blessings,
Lorna
